About Me

Traveling is the name of the game. 56 countries and counting. Sometimes I travel by foot, sometimes by boat, sometimes by plane, and sometimes by horse. But travel, I do.
I love adventures. I love being stimulated. I love to watch life pass slowly by then jump into the current and splash as hard as I can.
I try to engage and to go to a deeper level as soon as I can.
I work to live. And I live to live for fully.
I will soon buy land in Mexico and build my next dream project

I've ridden 3000 km on a horse from Mexico to Costa Rica. I've sailed around the South Pacific. I've hiked the Himalayas. There are more, but stories can always be told again.
